NoteThe source confirms all key elements of the claim: (1) PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from University College London (UCL) in 2009 — explicitly stated; (2) BA/MA in Computer Science from University of Cambridge — confirmed as 'MA' in the infobox and 'Computer Science Tripos' in the education section; (3) Double first from Queens' College, Cambridge — explicitly confirmed in the education section. The claim's reference to 'BA' versus the source's 'MA' is a minor notation difference (both refer to undergraduate degrees at Cambridge; MA is the formal Cambridge designation for undergraduate Computer Science), which does not constitute a contradiction.
